I have a 1998 Honda Passport with the fold down rear seats. They have pull straps to pull the bottom part up. The driver side seat will not pull up with the strap. I can feel it try to unlatch, but it appears that a magnet holds it. Is there a fuse for it, or how can I get it to unlatch? Thank you for your time.
